Exceptionally bright tev flares from the binary ls i +61° 303
(American Astronomical Society, 2016-01-19)
The TeV binary system LS I +61 degrees 303 is known for its regular, non-thermal emission pattern that traces the orbital period of the compact object in its 26.5 day orbit around its B0 Ve star companion. The system ...
Observations of the unidentified gamma-ray source tev j2032+4130 by veritas
(IOP Publishing, 2014-02-07)
TeV J2032+4130 was the first unidentified source discovered at very high energies (VHEs; E > 100 GeV), with no obvious counterpart in any other wavelength. It is also the first extended source to be observed in VHE ...
Multiwavelength observations of the previously unidentified blazar rx j0648.7+1516
(IOP Publishing, 2011-11-15)
We report on the VERITAS discovery of very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission above 200 GeV from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac (HBL) object RX J0648.7+1516 (GB J0648+1516), associated with 1FGL J0648.8+1516. The photon ...
Very-high-energy γ-ray observations of the blazar 1es 2344+514 with veritas
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-07-17)
We present very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of the BL Lac object 1ES 2344+514 taken by the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System between 2007 and 2015. 1ES 2344+514 is detected with a statistical ...
Discovery of tev gamma-ray emission fromtycho’s supernova remnant
(IOP Publishing, 2011-03-07)
We report the discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from the Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) G120.1+1.4, known as Tycho's SNR. Observations performed in the period 2008-2010 with the VERITAS ground-based gamma-ray observatory ...
Veritas 2008-2009 monitoring of the variable gamma-ray source m 87
(IOP Publishing, 2010-05-21)
M 87 is a nearby radio galaxy that is detected at energies ranging from radio to very high energy (VHE) gamma rays. Its proximity and its jet, misaligned from our line of sight, enable detailed morphological studies and ...
The discovery of γ-ray emission from the blazar rgb j0710+591
(IOP Publishing, 2010-04-30)
The high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object RGB J0710+591 was observed in the very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) wave band by the VERITAS array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The observations, taken between ...
Veritas observations of gamma-ray bursts detected byswift
(IOP Publishing, 2011-11-22)
We present the results of 16 Swift-triggered Gamma-ray burst (GRB) follow-up observations taken with the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) telescope array from 2007 January to 2009 June. The ...
Discovery of very high energy γ-ray emission from the snr g54.1+0.3
(IOP Publishing, 2010-07-22)
We report the discovery of very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the direction of the SNR G54.1+ 0.3 using the VERITAS ground-based gamma-ray observatory. The TeV signal has an overall significance of 6.8s and ...
Veritas observations of the tev binary ls i +61° 303 during 2008-2010
(IOP Publishing, 2011-08-09)
We present the results of observations of the TeV binary LS I + 61 degrees 303 with the VERITAS telescope array between 2008 and 2010, at energies above 300 GeV. In the past, both ground-based gamma-ray telescopes VERITAS ...
